Note: The configuration files for boards supplied with your server have already been included on the SCU diskette.

■EISA Adapters - Copy the configuration files (.CFG) and, if supplied, the overlay file (.OVL), to the SCU diskette. For details on running the SCU, refer to Chapter 4.

Consider the following points when installing option boards:

■Any EISA slot can be a master or a slave.

■EISA bus priority is slot J3 - J6, slot J3 having the highest priority. EISA slot J3 is the bottom option board slot on the system board. See Figure 5-10 for EISA slot numbers.

■PCI bus priority is slot J11 - J7, slot J11 having the highest priority. PCI slot J11 is the top PCI option board slot on the system board. See Figure 5-10 for PCI slot numbers.

■On system power-up and reboot, BIOS initiates a scan sequence looking for Plug-and-Play option boards installed since the last power up or reboot. The Plug-and-Play scan sequence is as follows:

First - BIOS scans for any Plug-and-Play ISA option board installed in slots J3 - J6, starting with slot J3.

Second - BIOS scans for any Plug-and-Play PCI option board installed in slots J11 - J7, starting with slot J11.

Always install option boards in the first available slot in the scan sequence. As an example, if there are ISA or EISA option boards installed in slots J3 and J4 of your system and slots J5 and J6 are vacant, install your Plug-and-Play option board into slot J5.
